People underestimate what a big pain in the ass internet has been for the EU bureaucrats in the last 5 years. They can't just remove users freedom in one hit, they need to do it slowly: cookie laws, gdpr, copyright. And of course they always put a little bit of "sense" in every rule. This is a classic tactic that has been used by State organizations for maybe thousands of years. You can find examples in ancient Rome, medieval cities, nazi germany, post-1917 Russia. The problem is that while modern democracies had a way to get rid of laws made using this tactic, the nations under EU's rule don't. The reason is that while you only need one good cycle of elections in one nation to get rid of a malicious national law, when it comes to getting rid of EU's rules you need multiple good cycles of elections in numerous nations, then you also need to convince a good amount of bureaucrats, and then you also have to remove the local interpretation of the EU directive. When people say that the EU is bad, it's not just because they want the vote from the stupid poors or they don't understand democracy. There are good reasons derived from political science and in favor of democracy to not accept the current way the EU impose its will on european nations. I hope this post was easy to understand.
